Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sitting on the Clock

When I shouted, he was concentrating on repairing the clock at hand. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In that kind of wholehearted devotion, the shopkeeper Tong was taken aback by me, only to see him trembling all over, and the whole person trembled as if he was in power.

What's even more interesting is that when the shopkeeper Tong was trembling, he didn't know what device he had touched, and he suddenly made his floor-to-ceiling self-striking clock suddenly ...... When it was reported.

Under the action of the mechanical clockwork, the large crimson wooden clock suddenly emitted a heavy "buzzing" sound, piercing through all of our bodies.

At the same time, a door suddenly opened at the top of the antique clock, which resembled an attic house, and a ...... came out of it Zombies dressed in Qing Dynasty clothes are coming!

It was a living zombie that popped out of the clock, reaching out in circles and making a small "cooing" chirping.

This unbelievable scene stunned all of us, and everyone shouted "Zombie Bell?"

In the face of our surprise, the shopkeeper Tong was annoyed and angry, he waved his hand, pointed to the Qing Dynasty "zombie" that came out of the clock, and corrected us very seriously: "This is not a zombie, it is a eunuch!"

Listening to the words of the shopkeeper Tong, Zhao Shuihe shook his head and said, "That's not right! Shouldn't this kind of grandfather clock be a cuckoo to tell the time? ”

"That's ......" Zhang Asi scratched his head and asked again: "Besides, how do you know that this thing is not a zombie but a eunuch?

Zhang Asi's questioning immediately caused a low laugh from all of us, and even I couldn't help but think that he had been tinkering in the clock for a long time just now...... Are you giving the dead eunuch a straight face?

Our ridicule and ridicule made the shopkeeper Tong's face blue and white for a while, and he couldn't get off the table.

In the end, he had to protect the clock with his body, and waved at us again, shouting, "This is an object in the palace, you know the ......"

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper Tong turned to me again, and asked me with an angry face: "Hey, surnamed Huo, you don't open a store well, why do you bring so many people to my antique shop?

Hearing the old neighbor's shouting, I immediately glanced at Zhao Shuihe, who had already been prepared.

Later, I explained to the shopkeeper: "Where is it! I just miss my neighbors, and I take everyone to visit while I have free time." ”

Listening to my words, the shopkeeper Tong glared at me with round eyes and said: "Visit, you treat me as a zoo ......."

Halfway through his words, the shopkeeper Tong was suddenly attracted by Zhao Shuihe, because he saw that this Shuihe was handing a square, finely made wooden box to his counter at the moment.

And in that box, at this time, there was a slightly heated aroma.

Seeing the food box handed over by Shui He, the shopkeeper Tong swallowed and spit, suddenly changed his smile, stretched out his hand and asked Zhao Shuihe: "Sister, this ...... What's in there?"

"Oh!" I hurriedly signaled to the old shopkeeper and said: "This is the autumn dim sum made by water lotus, and there are eight pieces of Yangzhou that are exquisite! ”

With my words, the eyes of Shopkeeper Tong, a senior foodie, were completely attracted by the wooden box brought by Shui He.

When I said that this was a new product, the shopkeeper Tong couldn't help but stick out his tongue and ask Zhao Shuihe: "Sister...... Girl: What are these eight pieces of Yangzhou? How about the oil cake you make?"

The shopkeeper Tong stuck out his tongue and asked, and Zhao Shuihe also replied according to my arrangement, with a pleasant face and witty words: "Uncle Tong, don't you know, when we were in Yangzhou, we had to sacrifice Chang'e and worship the old mother in the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, and the 'eight' I got for you today is the pastries that can only be seen when you sacrifice wine and admire the moon!"

With Shui He's words, the girl stretched out her white hand again, opened the outer lid of the wooden snack box, and exposed all the colorful and slightly hot snacks inside.

Pointing one by one, Zhao Shuihe introduced to the shopkeeper: "These eight pieces are Su Zi's unique skills, including chrysanthemum sesame cake, mint tea cake, manna glutinous rice cake, cabbage cake, Ge Lao birthday cake, crystal mung bean cake, money silver cake and fairy wealth!

With Zhao Shuihe's words, I hurriedly glanced at Zhang Ah Si again, and then this kid hurriedly touched his pocket and took a coarse porcelain and fine pottery bowl with respect.

The fourth child put the bottle on the counter, I pointed to the wine, and said to the shopkeeper Tong, who was already a mouthful: "Old shopkeeper, I accidentally disturbed you just now, I have a bottle of 18-year-old Shaoxing Yangtu Zhuangyuan Red here, and I should make amends." ”

To tell the truth, on my trip, Zhao Shuihe's eight pieces of dim sum were carefully prepared, and the rice wine in Zhang Asi's hand was added to the bulk goods I bought from the stall for five yuan.

But I believe that even if this is the case, it will still be enough to deal with him as a shopkeeper.

Because I firmly believe that the miser of Shopkeeper Tong usually eats at my place, and he is not even willing to order a beer that costs an extra dollar, and he must not spend a lot of money to buy famous wine to drink.

Anyway...... It makes sense to do it.

And just after I put this pile of things in front of the shopkeeper Tong, my old neighbor even looked straight in the eyes, he touched the saliva that was about to salivate at the corner of his mouth, obviously the visual and taste nerves had collapsed.

Then my amiable neighbor reached out...... Unceremoniously put away the wine and snacks.

The shameless shopkeeper Tong picked up my meeting gift, and nodded at me with a sneering face: "What Boss Huo gave me, if I don't accept it, I won't give Boss Huo and Shui He face, then it's better to be respectful than to obey my fate......

The shopkeeper Tong is the kind of guy who is cheap and obedient, and my eyelids jump straight after listening to it, and I have an urge to beat him.

However, in my own consideration, I still smiled and nodded at the shopkeeper Tong: "It's good to accept it, but the shopkeeper Tong, let's come and chat with you, you can't let everyone stare dryly, right?"

Hearing my words, the shopkeeper Tong smiled embarrassedly, and then hurriedly walked out from behind the glass counter, personally pulled out a chair for us, and ran back to the back of the counter to get tea.

While greeting, the shopkeeper Tong smiled and said in surprise to us: "Oh! Everyone come here, but it really makes my little game shine, I don't know what Boss Huo has to buy?" Say it, I'll give you an eighty-nine discount!"

Listening to the words of the shopkeeper Tong, I bowed my head slightly and told the shopkeeper Tong: "I didn't come to buy things, in fact, in addition to giving you snacks, I also want to give you an antique, free, no money......"
